What's up?

Been busy NOT updating this blog. Sorry.
Cosplayed at Torucon last week. It was awesome. Nordic Garrison showed up and kept us safe from those rebel scumbags. Even Darth Vader took his time to visit us! (Note to self: Stop kneeling in the dust whenever he passes)
Been playing awfully lot of Minecraft online with some friends. We've built a great town/HQ, and will now proceed on creating a workplace. I'll get my own office.

Also been playing Underhell: Prolouge. It's a great mod, but with bad optimization. Built on Smod and filled with features that enables and disables themselves in various maps.
Yeah, Underhell is a horror/action game. The "Horror"-part is at the hub, your house, where you start. It acts like an interactive chapter selection. Oh, did I mention it's haunted? No? Well, I did say it was the horror-part, yes? I've screamed a lot because of this mod. Your dead wife who committed suicide in the bathroom haunts you... Or is it just your guilt? Because when you hear it coming, you need to hide.
The action-part is awesome, but ridiculously unrealistic. You control Jake Hawkfield, a SWAT member. You are a one-man army, and your mission is to stop a hostage situation. However, this doesn't seem like to be a normal hostage situation, as it turns out something else is going on here...

It's a mod made by Mxthe in collaboration with WeCreateStuff, responsible for Portal: The Flash Version (And the map pack for Portal 1), Echoes, and Nightmare House 2 (Which is set in the same universe as Underhell).

It's a great mod, but as I stated, the optimisation is horrible. Even though I turned off HDR, lowered the Shader-settings and stuff, the game still lags in the Mall-part of the Prolouge. The house is fantastic, but because of the random events set there, it's hard to feel safe. And for the love of god, don't go in the bathroom.

I can't wait for Chapter 1.


Also, WoW are going to update soon with a new raid; It's time to face the badass himself, the traitor Deathwing. Be prepared.
